Book Blurb
Seventeen-year-old Emma Harris is drowning on dry land.
No one knows what’s happening to her, and she’d like to keep her evolution from human to mermaid a secret, but the truth is getting harder and harder to hide. From her adoptive family, from her friends, and especially from the irresistible James Phelps.
Her time in the ocean is spent dodging a possessive merman, while her time on land is split between caring for her special-needs brother and squeezing in every last possible moment of human life. She soon realizes falling for James is unavoidable when he constantly comes to Emma’s rescue and somehow manages to see through her carefully constructed icy facade to the vulnerability she lives with every day. Everything about James makes Emma yearn for a life on land she just can't have.
When Emma’s brother disappears on her watch, James is the only person she trusts to help her save him. But even if they can save her brother, nothing can prevent her return to the sea. Whether she likes it or not, Emma is changing—unable to breathe without yielding to the tide—and it's only a matter of time before she's forced to surrender forever.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Emma Harris is changing and there is nothing she can do to stop it. She is forced to go to her favorite cove and swim in the ocean. One night after prom and her required dip in the ocean, Emma is confronted by her boyfriend Tom. He is extremely angry and confronts her in a violent way. After the incident the students at her school blame her for ruining Tom’s life. So when James starts school Emma warns him that it may not be in his best interest to talk to her. She knows what they are saying about her. Besides she has no interest in boys these days. After Tom she doesn’t trust them and she is living on borrowed time. Soon she won’t be able to breathe on land.
However James is drawn to Emma and can’t get her out of his head. He refuses to take a no as an answer. He is determined to get to know her. The more he learns the more he falls. When Emma reveals all her secrets, James is shocked, then angry. Emma knows that she can’t stop what is coming.
The story line written by this author was unique. I had not read a story involving mermaids before. I love paranormal, so was intrigued by what the story could provide. I instantly liked Emma as a character. She has faced many tough circumstances, but continually moved forward. She was always trying to do the right thing.
Unfortunately life throws things beyond your control and the author portrayed Emma as a fighter who never gave up, especially when she got something she refused to lose.
I do hope there is another book about her. I didn’t really like how it ended. I want the story to continue so Emma can get her happy ending. I give it a 3 out of 5.
